Looking to book ski/snowboarding trip to Whistler, Canada but cannot find any departure airports north of London.
Do such flight still exist or do us northerners have to book flights with stop overs?
Have tried Canadian Affair and they don't have a winter schedule for 2014.
I flew Manchester to Vancouver with Canadian Affair (Thomson plane tho) a few years ago
At the time they were flying thru the winter, that may have changed tho.
Have you tried sky scanner?
Tried searching but only get flights with 1&2 stops no direct flights 😕
Air transat were flying Vancouver to Manchester 18months ago, but haven't checked since.
AirTransat might be your best bet
No schedule just checked for Manchester - Vancouver
They are basically, quietly reducing the number of Winter ski flights, especially from regional airports. Flying to Gatwick or Heathrow from the north might make sense if you book the flights through the same airline (not necessarily on the same carrier)
I've flown to Colorado a few times via Schipol... Rather that than drive to London 🙂
No flights from Manchester to Canada currently-thread on UK snowboard forum about it.
If you're going to Canada, is a drive down to London as part of the trip such a biggie?
We went to Whistler last winter. We had to fly from Manchester to Amsterdam then onto Vancouver.
Flights were pretty good though, was really impressed with KLM.
Tom B - driving to London is a biggie especially when I live in North Cumbria.
Well looks like I will have to get my head round a stop off and longer flight 😕
How many people going - National Express to London ???
Would also suggest trains but had too many awful train trips back to London from your part of the world.
Ah bit of a trek then. Fly to Amsterdam then onto Vancouver is probably the best bet then.
